A proper analogy to the Destiny2 situation would be Contra telling you that you started with 3 lives left, and this showing like so on screen, 3 lives left, but after dying the second time it would be game over as you only actually started with 1 live left, and you'd only be able to realize it after you died twice. The game actually cheated you on the lives you had left.

Of course, you'd be able to buy more lives by inserting a dollar here and there. A buck a life. Oh, and yes, you already bought this game at full price.

Would you feel good with that?
